We create web and mobile applications that
make your business leaner and meaner...

...we integrate these applications into powerful business solutions. They transform
the efficiency and productivity of organisations whose activity is spread across
numerous locations.

Until recently the size and capability of mobile devices has been the main limiting
factor in delivering key functionality to a remote workforce. However the rapid advances
in mobile and tablet technology means there is little standing in the way of putting the
full capabilities of an organisation in the hands of their frontline staff, enabling them
to fully interact in real time with their office.

There are a host of cohesive tools and products that we can combine to replicate the processes
your business currently employs, we hold them all in a matrix called the "Bridge Integration Framework".

This Framework covers all of your areas of operation and within it are a number of
products and tools that form the foundation of your solution. Each component is fully
adaptable and is completely remodelled to meet your requirements rather than you
having to accommodate any limitations from a pre-existing product, ensuring the elements
will match your needs and enhance your business operation.

If we discover specific tasks or operations your business has that currently don't
feature in our framework – you can be confident that we'll develop them for you and
they will become a seamless part of the solution.

Benefits of receiving imagery/audio/video

Key:

Details of customer issues can be quickly highlighted to senior field staff, allowing them to respond directly to the situation armed with all the information required

HR obtain immediate information on time and attendance of remote workforce

Giving HR/H&S visual reference of correct adherence to site safety and work procedures and PPE

Supervisors can be regularly updated on individual teams progress/issues and so make informed decisions as to whether to visit a site

Enabling Field Supervisors to make initial visual appraisals of work from a completely different location

Additional requirements while on a site visit along with any appropriate information can swiftly be passed on to the workforce, utilising their time far more effectively

In some instances where it is impractical or impossible to view material while executing a task, pre-recorded audio commentary can be provided as assistance

Workforce automatically send GPS Data from their mobile devices

Changes to the daily schedule can be easily notified in full to the workforce, re-planned with the knowledge of both their current location and progress

Where appropriate, video demonstrations of the execution of an unknown procedure can be provided (often these can be sourced from manufacturers)

On being notified, Finance/Procurement can immediately order what's required and establish a delivery date

Finance are automatically made aware of the completed work and can process it for billing

Emergency situations can be addressed rapidly through redirecting the nearest relevant team to the situation

Processes can include specific visual reference to be uploaded at key points of the task

Making Field Supervisors constantly aware of the location and availability of their teams

Work teams can be given daily schedules and customer details directly, enabling them to plan their day and travel straight to their tasks

During remote activity, operatives are able to instantly order any non-standard parts and materials while still on site.

Technical diagrams and plans can be uploaded to assist in everything from installation to onsite location

When a task is completed, all standard materials used are automatically notified to Administration as taken from inventory

Management and technical departments can supply specific support on request to aid their onsite work force who have encountered unexpected issues

Planning know when they are onsite, when they leave and are en route to the next task

Planning/scheduling are able to "push" many types of key information out to the field based workforce in real time, making them massively more responsive and productive

On receiving a delivery date for the new parts, Planning can immediately rebook the task, often while the operative is still on site

Planning are aware of task progression/completion and can schedule resources effectively in real time

The benefits of working with a web and mobile solution

Sell More…

After applying an integrated solution across the business, you will have a massive advantage,
not least over your competitors. Not only will you have far greater control of your costs and
resources than they have, you will also have a far greater level of contact and communication
with your whole workforce.

This "awareness" of the current situation enables you to respond and work with your customers in a
way that they will appreciate and your competitors envy.

Do More…

One of the first things you will notice is how much quicker and more flexible your activity is.
Those who rely on their workforce attending client locations each day will now have the capability
to manage, monitor and most importantly plan in near real-time rather than wait for end of day reports
or even worse, evening uploads of progress from home.

From simple input/entry to retrieving and depositing complex data, processes become seamless – people
can effectively and efficiently do more within their day with less pressure, less mistakes and greater
focus.

… And Grow

Delivering your operations via this mobile/web platform puts your business on a different footing;
not only is it a much more productive organisation with the same resources but one that can easily
and confidently expand and take on more very economically.

The application underpins all the processes involved, so existing staff can be migrated to a new
contract and give an immediate sense of experience and expertise, while new employees learn a single
system and can rapidly provide the same high levels of service.

4Bridge

Using the Bridge Integration Framework to match your activities

Every business is different, the way tasks and processes are addressed may
vary but the commercial reasons behind them are almost always the same and
that’s the start point with our Framework.

Identifying the specific needs of your business

First we need to recognise the elements that would benefit your workforce
when they are on site, which might mean out in the field, visiting clients,
or simply on one or more of your own locations where they are constantly on
the move during the course of their day.

We then plot what they need from head office to support them and what head office needs from them to ensure all the related operational activities can be completed.

This detail forms the basis of our planning, timings and costing, allowing us to produce a comprehensive project plan that drives everything from concept through to the build, testing and implementation.

We will continue to work with you while everything beds in and you are satisfied that the
application is working as you wanted. We are of course very happy to remain involved and
provide ongoing maintenance and modifications.

All systems also need a level of further development, technology changes, your needs change
and so do those of your clients. As new clients come on board they may have additional
requirements that you need assistance with in order for your application to successfully
accommodate them.

5Mobile

Consumer focused mobile applications are as important to us as they are to you

For us, business really is all about developing smart, successful applications
and while we specialise in connecting mobile and web into a complete
business solution, we are just as happy to apply our skills to either discipline.

Consumer markets are becoming key

We are also very active in the "Consumer Focused" applications sector.
Fast becoming essential in the sales and marketing toolbox, organisations
are using them for a variety of reasons such as market testing, product launches,
brand and relationship building, plus of course as a new sales channel.

Some of the most rapid innovation happens in this area of the market, each
project nearly always requires new ideas and development. Meeting such challenges
is also good for our business applications as we often export our discoveries into
that work.

We are comfortable working with clients who have recognised a need for an app but
have no preconceived ideas, or those who have clearly identified their idea and
have already done a great deal of work on the approach – either way the objective
is to create outstanding, commercially focused work.

Your very own mobile application but at a fraction of the normal cost

We are working with more and more independent businesses, sometimes small
chains but often successful single outlets covering retail, food and drink,
entertainment and specialist services. They fully grasp the benefits of having
a mobile application but until now, mainly due to cost and finding a suitable
partner to work with, have struggled to do anything to progress this area of
their business.

Things changed for these companies when we launched our service that makes the
idea very affordable through "cost sharing". A very simple proposition, we find
a number of like minded (but not necessarily similar types) of companies who want
a mobile application. As most of the functionality is common it can be developed
once and the cost shared, providing the majority of an app for a fraction of the
price. This leaves only a small amount of personalisation for each company reducing
the total cost considerably.

With the huge increase in awareness around the commercial use of mobile applications,
finding similarly interested parties really doesn't take long and production can progress
rapidly with an application being ready in as little as three weeks (including approval by Apple).

Twice the opportunity, twice the value for money

Building a mobile application for iPhone and then for Android requires almost
twice the time and effort as each is developed in a different programming language
(objective-c and Java), so in effect double the cost. This puts the possibility of
being able to reach the majority of the smartphone market even further out of the
reach of many businesses. The huge additional bonus with our approach and "cost sharing"
offer is that while our fees to build an application for one platform are already a
fraction of the costs, if you want both platforms, we will build the other version completely free!

Even bespoke applications can be built on common foundations

Some situations demand a higher level of functionality that cannot easily be
shared across clients or there is a need for personalisation that can only be
found outside of our current frameworks capabilities.

For these projects we would use the framework as a foundation meaning that you
still benefit from the cost sharing, allowing the majority of the budget to be
concentrated on creating the bespoke elements. This becomes a very cost effective
way of developing a highly bespoke application.

And not forgetting our original strengths in web development

We have spent the last five years delivering projects as simple as high end brochure websites
through to ecommerce solutions and the most complex job management systems all to the same
exacting standards. So even if you have not got remote workers or a requirement for a mobile
application we can still help you make your business more effective via a bespoke web based solution.
